三、考生成绩总结
2017年考生普遍沿袭2016年及以前的成绩趋势，即听力、阅读成绩普遍好于写作、口语成绩，对小分有要求的同学要注意，不能光冲一些科目的高分，以提升整体的分数，如果写作、口语小分达不到标准，也是很糟糕的。
四、2018年考试趋势预测
口语预测
2018年的口语考试在每个变题季中会使用同一套题目，难度与数量不会有本质变化;尤其是Part 1部分的题库会基本上维持一个稳定的状态，不会有太多新题出现，但可能会在旧题的基础上创造出一些新题。
至于Part 2和Part 3的考试题库在整体数量以及话题分类的比例上与2017年不会有显著差异。
以上，就是天道教育对于2017全年雅思考试的回顾与对18年考试趋势的预测，愿读到文章的你已经申请到了dream school，而正在为18年备考而发愁的你也有了努力的方向。
